Patna Pirates have won it! The last raid is agonizingly close for Shrikant Jadhav, as he tries to steal a touch point with no bonus point on offer. Patna Pirates' defence takes care of the raid, and the match is eventually decided by one point.

Bonus point picked up by Pardeep Narwal! It's not a test of nerves rather than skills for players on either side, as Pirates hold on to a slender lead. The score is 40-38.

Jawahar is the last man standing for Pirates and he's up against a full-strength UP Yoddha defence. He can't take a point home, and Pirates are all out here.

Pardeep Narwal is on the raid for Patna Pirates once again, but he's hardly going in for any touch points over here. His only target seems to be securing the bonus and going back to his den.

There's time for at least one more raid here and the score now reads 20-20! A good dash from Vikas Rane means the lead is with Patna Pirates at half-time. The score reads 21-20, it's been a tight encounter so far, and the second half promises much more.

Up Yoddha have raced into a 9-4 lead here. Kuldeep takes a risk and goes for the tackle on the UP Yoddha raider, and he doesn't regret the decision. Rishank Devadiga is floored, and he earns a point back for his team. 9-5 now.

As the score reads 5-3, Rishank Devadiga enters the Patna Pirates den and the defenders cannot keep him away from picking up two points as he expertly dodges the ankle hold.
